Binary Poetry
Binary Poetry is Delta poetica’s first poetry project, transforming binary code, understood as 0 and 1, true and false, into poetic expressions that explore the transition between the digital and post-digital eras. As technologies such as quantum computing, neural interfaces, and synthetic biology emerge, binary code may be regarded as an “ancient language,” symbolizing humanity’s foundational digital dialect.
Each work in Binary Poetry is conceived as a poem, taking shape through diverse media such as sculpture, performance, moving image, and sound, each treated as a site of poetic inscription. Together these works enact the translation of binary logic into embodied, material, and sensory experience.
In this project, binary code becomes more than a technical structure: it is reframed as a poetic and cultural bridge, linking the digital past, the uncertain post-digital present, and speculative futures. Through Binary Poetry, Delta poetica approaches binary as a philosophical framework in which systems of logic are questioned, reformulated, and extended toward transformations in how we understand, divide, and structure meaning.
